Technically it's not rolling but you get substantial updates during the stable channel lifetime, unlike Debian or Ubuntu. And when the stable channel is deprecated (every 6 months) you need to manually change it and get a bigger version bump of most softwares all of a sudden. There is no LTS concept where you can leave almost on autopilot a distro version for 5 years.
